Half of registered voters heading into Tuesday’s midterm elections believe their own member of Congress deserves re-election, by one percentage point the lowest Gallup has recorded in its final pre-election poll over the past seven midterm elections. Just 29% of voters say most members deserve re-election. The latter indicator of support for incumbents is up slightly from 23% in 2014 but is otherwise on the low end of Gallup’s trend from recent midterms. CONT.
